I have a (old) Pentium 75 that used to run Etch. I have been trying to install Lenny on it without success. The installation stops at the 6% point of the "Installation of Base System" step. Various packages are being retrieved at that point. At different times, the installation has stopped while it was getting dpkg, coreutils, bdsutils, and libselinux1.
When the installation stalls, I can't get CTRL-ALT-F4 to open another console, so I can't tell exactly what was going on. I have tried both the Lenny debian-500-i386-CD-1.iso and the debian-500-i386-netinst.iso. Neither works. The disks have been used to install Lenny on other machines, so I know that they are not the problem. Any ideas to diagnose what is going on or to get the installation to complete would be appreciated. The output of lshw (from the System Rescue CD) is below.
